Steps

1

Think about the real reason behind why you want to eat chocolate. Perhaps you're feeling sad, hungry, lonely, bored, or even happy. Take whichever of these emotions you're feeling and try to match it to finding some other way of distracting yourself. For example, you might try going for a walk, or buying a magazine instead.

Think about all of the bad effects. Think things like "Oh, it isn't good for me, and besides, I can get some other treats for less".

Play a resist temptation game. Put a piece of chocolate in front of you and see how long you can last without eating it. Time yourself and try to beat your score. Compare your time with family and friends' times and see who's the best. The winner gets a prize!

Keep resisting. It takes time to break a habit.

Seek help. If you have a really difficult time resisting chocolate, talk to your doctor or therapist about possible solutions that will work for you. Some people are more susceptible to chocolate cravings than other, so there may be a neurological basis to your craving.[1]
